Sorry, my fault. Having now done spamd -D it is indeed showing the following: [1108] dbg: plugin: fixed relative path: /var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007/updates_spamassassin_org/50_scores.cf
So, I suppose sa-update is working for spamd as well -----Original Message----- From: Theo Van Dinter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 09 December 2006 16:07 To: users@spamassassin.apache.org Subject: Re: Spamd and Spamassassin filtering differently On Sat, Dec 09, 2006 at 11:15:16AM -0000, Sujit Choudhury wrote: > sa-update puts the files into /var/lib directory. However, spamassassin -D --lint shows the files are read from /var/lib directory where as spamd program in actual fact points to /usr/share/spamassassin. What do you mean by "points to /usr/share/spamassassin" ? When you run spamd w/ -D, what does it say? Given the same machine and environment (ie: no overriding directories on the commandline), both scripts will do the same thing, reading from the same rules, etc. -- Randomly Selected Tagline: "The only way you'll get me to talk is through slow painful torture, and I don't think you've got the grapes." - Stewie on Family Guy
